The ruling on one who forgets the first tashahhud and the position of sujud al-sahw
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Also, a questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who forgets the first tashahhud and stands up for the third rak'ah?
The Shaykh:
If he remembered before he began the second rak'ah, he should go back, perform the tashahhud, and prostrate for forgetfulness. But if he did not remember until after he had begun the second rak'ah, meaning he began reciting al-Fatihah, then he should not go back, but it is obligatory for him to prostrate for forgetfulness. The prostration for forgetfulness makes up for this deficiency. Yes.
The questioner:
Is the prostration for forgetfulness before the taslim or after the taslim?
The Shaykh:
If it is for an addition in the prayer, the best is for it to be after the taslim. If it is for a deficiency in the prayer, the best is for it to be before the taslim. This is better. As for the original ruling, it is permissible for it to be before the salam and it is permissible for it to be after.
The questioner:
Meaning, in the case of the brother questioner, the best is for it to be before the taslim.
The Shaykh:
Yes, he is deficient. Yes.
